<H3><A NAME="M2">NAME</A></H3>
lower &mdash; Change a window's position in the stacking order
<H3><A NAME="M3">SYNOPSIS</A></H3>
<B>lower </B><I>window </I>?<I>belowThis</I>?<BR>
<H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
If the <I>belowThis</I> argument is omitted then the command lowers
<I>window</I> so that it is below all of its siblings in the stacking
order (it will be obscured by any siblings that overlap it and
will not obscure any siblings).
If <I>belowThis</I> is specified then it must be the path name of
a window that is either a sibling of <I>window</I> or the descendant
of a sibling of <I>window</I>.
In this case the <B>lower</B> command will insert
<I>window</I> into the stacking order just below <I>belowThis</I>
(or the ancestor of <I>belowThis</I> that is a sibling of <I>window</I>);
this could end up either raising or lowering <I>window</I>.
<P>
All <B><A HREF="../TkCmd/toplevel.htm">toplevel</A></B> windows may be restacked with respect to each
other, whatever their relative path names, but the window manager is
not obligated to strictly honor requests to restack.
